Pipeworx translate

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a simple translation skill that clearly uses a remote service, with no local code, persistence, or hidden privileges found.

Before installing, treat translated or language-detected text as being sent to a third-party service. Avoid submitting secrets, credentials, regulated data, or confidential content unless you trust that service and its data-handling practices.

Vulnerability Patterns

Skill Instruction HijackingAlters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
Agent Memory PoisoningWrites attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
Remote Payload Retrieval and ExecutionFetches external code whose behavior can change after review
Embedded Malicious CodeShips malicious scripts inside the skill and executes them locally
Unauthorized Access and Privilege EscalationObtains permissions beyond the task's legitimate needs

Missing User Warnings

Medium

Category: Not specified by scanner
Confidence: 95% confidence
Finding: The skill routes user-provided text to a remote translation endpoint but does not clearly warn users that their content leaves the local environment. This is dangerous because users may submit sensitive or regulated data assuming local processing, creating privacy, confidentiality, or compliance exposure.
Content: No source excerpt is available for this finding.
